You Come at the King, You Best Not Miss!

You Come at the King, You Best Not Miss! — The is one of the most famous lines from the George Pellicanos / David Simon series The Wire. Originally spoken by Street King and “drug dealer robber” Omar Little to the drug gang hit man Roland “Wee-Bey” Brice after Brice unsuccessfully tries to collect the bounty on Omar’s head in an ambush.

After the Brice is wounded and his crew is killed, Omar leaves Wee-Bey conspicuously alive uttering the famous words:

“Yo Bey, the lesson here is: You Come at the King, You Best Not Miss!”

Amazingly years after The Wire series ran, this line is now being quoted verbatim by the American News Media in the general direction of lawmakers attempting to bring Donald J. Trump to justice.

I don’t know which is more paradoxical: hearing a White woman say this while affecting a Baltimore Black-cent; or, that this warning is being given to lawmakers about a former president of the United States.

Wow…now, y’all got the briefcase AND the gun.

I want to see Trump brought to justice and treated exactly like both Reality Winner and Jack Teixeira. But, words of wisdom to the Justice Department: You Come at the King, You Best Not Miss!

a minute late or a second slow

a minute late or a second slow — The epitaph for every stand up guy and hard man who dies with his boot on. They don’t die in their sleep or retire to become farmers. This is the Urban equivalent of a Viking Death without the hope of a Valhalla.

I’ll see you at the crossroads.

There in only one end for a hard man no matter how good he is: one day he will be a minute late or a second slow and he will die with iron in his hand and lead in his body.

I really don’t need no light to see through you

I really don’t need no light to see through you. — A brutal way to tell someone that they are absolutely transparent. This idiom entered popular culture in 1982 as a result of the quite danceable late disco track by the same name sung by vocalist Jeffery Osborne.

A useful insult in an age of MAGA Republicanism.

A more contemporary version of this is insult is the more versatile “I see you” — which can either be an insult or a statement of deep connection and engagement.

When Dolt 45 says that if he’s elected he will be MAGA’s retribution, I’ll just say this: I really don’t need no light to see through you, Donnie.

ass-spirations

ass-spirations — The desire to have marital sexual relations more than twice a week after more than five years of marriage.

At least 50% of the people involved in the marriage will find this to be somewhat unreasonable, while reminding the other 50% of the couple that married people — statistically — have more regular sex than single people.

This is especially in the post-pandemic age of internet dating where many men identify themselves as “Incels” (and Freudian-ly play with guns).

Psychologist call this phenomenon: Too much and not enough. This refers to the propensity of the average married couple to describe the exact same number and types of sexual interactions in completely divergent terms.

Another phenomenon associated with this is the hormonal reversal theme wherein the desire role of the couple reverses only to have the end result be the exact same dynamic — ONLY REVERSED!!!!!!

As the old saying about human nature goes: “When they hand out free $10 dollar bills someone will complain that $50 dollar bills aren’t being freely distributed.”

As for sexual frequency — talk to any single person going through a sexual drought: sex twice a week even if it is a quickie and in only one position is 104 sex acts a year — which actually is a lot; though some would say not enough.

But, we can always still have ass-spirations!!!!!

The longer one is married, the easier it is for a good series binge to thwart marital ass-spirations. Love and Death cost me one of my weekly marital sex acts!!!!!

If you are there then you’re down.

If you’re there then you’re down — the unfortunate situation of being put in a position to have inadvertently chosen a side in a fight against opps leading to events where you will soon have to prove yourself to be deemed worthy of remaining among the living.

To say the least this is a life changing moment.

And a cliché.

A great example of this is being a passenger in a car as a drive resulting in fatalities has been perpetrated.

Another example is giving someone a ride who then spontaneously decides to rob a store or gas station; and, you are on camera as the driver and your partial tag is identified as the get away car.

All of the rules of silence and fidelity apply even though before the act you were just a “square” with fast friends.

In order to gain trust, one must commit escalating acts of criminality which makes one deeply implicated in the activities of the crew. This is how villains are born.

P.S. it was no accident that one is chosen to “accidentally” be in that situation. It was a draft, not an accident.

Any similarities to people living or dead is purely coincidental,

If you are there then you’re down. What happened just happened. Listen up, from here you take no walks. You have to stay on the reservation. You didn’t see nothing; and, you don’t know nothing. Anyway, you are our number one draft choice because we all came up together.

Bed Bath and Beyond a Doubt

Bed Bath and Beyond a Doubt — a headline trumpeting the ridiculous fact that former President. Donald J. Trump his secret documents in an easily accessible bathroom at Mar-a-Largo. There are both photographs and video footage to document this.

Dolt 45 hid secret documents in an easily accessible bathroom documented by visual evidence in photographs and video taping Bed Bath and Beyond a Doubt.

I wonder if our enemies got 20% off coupons while reading our secrets after their infiltration of Mar-a-Largo?

The Four “F’s”

Improvised prison comfort food.

This comfort food can be made using ingredients that can be purchased at a prison commissary. One common example is a bag of Fritos Corn-chips with canned chili poured over the Fritos while still in the bag — the bag being split open from top to bottom being used as a plate/container for the “Zoo Pie”.

The Four “F’s” make it easier to survive in prison they are:
friends on the outside
family,

fellow gang members inside and outside

faithful wife or lover who hasn’t yet succumbed to loneliness and infidelity while you are inside.

These people can easily make Commissary Deposits and send valuable packages containing socks and underwear — two things you can’t be without in prison or in the military.

The Four F’s are a necessary but not sufficient element of prison survival.

I couldn’t have served my prison time without The Four “F’s” in my corner; Man, I’m a short timer now. Just one month and a wake up.
